Categories: Cities

why are the cities listed under their categories names, whose pages are mostly non-existant? Wouldn't it be better to list them under their article name so we wouldn't see the red link? Or is there are reason for the categories?Kewp 11:37, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

I would think that seeing a red link would be a good thing, even if it doesnt look good, because it shows that the articles need to be created. --Gpyoung talk 23:50, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Empty Subpage

Is the subpage Portal:Caribbean/? being used? It's empty at the moment. If not, could it be listed for deletion and removed from Wikipedia:Shortpages. Thanks, SeventyThree(Talk) 20:50, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Categorisation of Sport in the Caribbean

I noticed that the Categories for Sport in the various Caribbean countries (e.g. Sport in Saint Lucia) were re-categorised under Sport in Central America so I created a new category: Sport in the Caribbean--Vivenot 13:57, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Proposed WikiProject

There is a new proposed WikiProject to deal with the Caribbean at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Caribbean. Interested parties should add their names there, so we can see if there is enough interest to start the project in earnest. Badbilltucker 17:31, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

New user category

I have created a new category for wikipedians who are interested in the Caribbean: Category:Wikipedians interested in the Caribbean--Vivenot 15:37, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Portal:Haiti

Portal:Haiti is up and running. Please take a look and add anything which might improve the page.-- Zleitzen(talk) 17:49, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Years in Caribbean

I have linked the years for each Caribbean country to a category for that year in the Caribbean to link the years together along the lines of that for Oceania; so far just the A & B countries. See for example Category:2008 in the Caribbean. For 2000 to 2008 or 2009; not the 19th century.

Andros Island, the Bahamas

Over the past month I have substantially re-written this article .... I think its classifications perhaps should be reviewed and brought current ---- particularly as to the quality of the article. But I'm new to this and could be completely wrong ....... :) John.bond954 (talk) 01:16, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Barbados Defence Force and Military of Barbados

Are the two articles should be merged as they are the same topic since all the military forces of Barbados are part of the BDF ? Amqui (talk) 14:54, 11 March 2012 (UTC)


Status report from the Portals WikiProject

Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals is back!

The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018.

Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, and design the portals of the future.

As of April 29th, membership is at 56 editors, and growing.

There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for each component of portals.

Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.

And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.

From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject.    — The Transhumanist   03:34, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
